would hope that a statement could be

OOP taen- described the AEJOYFUL case in bricf terms to
Ambassador Thompson, emphasizing the pargblel planning and
the possibility that a quadripurtite statement by the govern-
nents mivht be considered. The DUP did note, however, that
ARJOYFUL was in British hands ‘and that they have the major
responsibility even thoush we end other security and intelli-
Hence services had agreed on the handling of the case. The
BOP then noted that in past cases where we had turned hack
